But It Was Fast

The "But It Was Fast" meme conveys the meaning of "the result was a mess, but at least it was done quickly." This meme originates from an edited subtitle image of the movies "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Avengers: Endgame." It is often used to justify a poorly done task by emphasizing speed over quality.

The meme gained popularity through video platforms like YouTube, especially on the YouTube channel of Chimmchakman. For example, during a "GTA" gameplay session, Kim Poong attempted to deploy his parachute quickly but failed, prompting a comment saying, "But it was fast," which contributed to the meme's viral spread.

This meme is primarily used when someone completes a task quickly but with poor results or when speed is emphasized despite failure. For instance, if someone finishes an exam quickly but gets most of the answers wrong, they might say, "But it was fast" as an excuse.
